WESTERN SOCIAL lEAGUEs.
PLAT FORM.
(uSDER THE AUSPICES OF ruEI. w.A)


The Socialist Party Is the only true Anti
Poverty Society.
This Socialist League Is formed to advance
the doctrines OF the Socialist Party and Its
principles are rs follows:
The main cause ofall misery, poverty, vice
aud crime lies In the environment which sur.
rounds the individual. The only way to
abolish these evils is TO change the evircn-
ment. This environment consists OF the
competitive wage system under which a
privileged class control and monopolize the
natural resources, the tools OF production,
the mediums OF excl ange, transportation
and communication. The way TO change
ihis environment Is TO make all these things
the cooperative property of the whole people
and to have the government own, operate
and control them for the benefit OF all, at
cost.
We eavow these Us our principles and invite
the cooperation OF all men and women who
love their country and who are, rs scientists,
devoted to the emancipation OF all Human.

PLEDGE.

CAPTAIN WILLIAMS SAYS 1T VAS JOKE.

Captan Williams, of the ThIrtieth Street police
station. was not inclined to talk much yesterday
about the supposed internal machine which was sent
60 him by express on Thursday evening. There's
nothing Ia it, he said with a Emile 70 TRIBUNE
reporter % Some Internal idiot wanted to play
Joke That's all there is about It," The bold captain
is lust now less concerned about explosives than
about the charge OF neglect OF duty which he Is
soon TO meet at Police Headquarters
I. was ascertained at Headquarters yesterday that
three other packages of the pattern were sent
by express ON Thursday. Two, which were examined
by the Jersey City Police addressed to Inspector
Byrnes end the British Consul, The third was sent to
the Russian Consul and the clerk who opened " was
scared not little by its peculiar appearance. There
was every reason to believe that the packages we're
sent by practical okers. Inspector Byrnes received
his psckage yesterday and came TO the conclusion
that il was not meant TO hurt ANYBODY. The outer
pacK age was a common tin can with movable lid.
Inside was q woven wire cylinder with cast-iIon
plates on each end. IL was about the size OF n
tomato can too Large for use with dangerous eapo-
sives which could be packed In much less space.
Evidently the wire cylinder was made by machinery
and with its cast iron ends II had the look OF being
manufactured for the hardware trade.
Dr. Cyrus Edson said that Lieutenant Ialinsky had
examined the package sent to Captain Williams and
bad agreed with him that 10 was harmless. IL would
pc mistake 70 put every suspected internal machine
IN water. Dr. Edison said, because bomb might be so
constructed that water would cause it TO explode
